THE PASSION

            “But he was wounded for our iniquities, he was bruised for our sins: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his bruises we are healed.  All we like sheep have gone astray, every one hath turned aside into his own way: and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.  He was offered because it was his own will, and he opened not his mouth: he shall be led as a sheep to the slaughter, and shall be dumb as a lamb before his shearer, and he shall not open his mouth.  He was taken away from distress, and from judgment: who shall declare his generation? because he is cut off out of the land of the living: for the wickedness of my people have I struck him.  And he shall give the ungodly for his burial, and the rich for his death: because he hath done no iniquity, neither was there deceit in his mouth.  And the Lord was pleased to bruise him in infirmity: if he shall lay down his life for sin, he shall see a long-lived seed, and the will of the Lord shall be prosperous in his hand.  Because his soul hath laboured, he shall see and be filled: by his knowledge shall this my just servant justify many, and he shall bear their iniquities.  Therefore will I distribute to him very many, and he shall divide the spoils of the strong, because he hath delivered his soul unto death, and was reputed with the wicked: and he hath borne the sins of many, and hath prayed for the transgressors.”—Isaiah 53: 2-12, (Duoay-Rheims)

            There is no Christianity without the Passion.  Remember that.  There is no window to salvation without persecution of the Innocent at the hands of many and for the sins of all.  Remember that.  When injustice, sins, lies, and coercive powers of the world influence, shape, and impose—remember that. 

            It is all piece to God’s plan, and in sins of the present—preached, praised, and encouraged by the masses and their shapers—we are given windows few will perceive. 

            Through these windows, eyes will see. 

            Hearts will change. 

            Souls will turn. 

            In these spirits are the seeds. 

            When world falters, when man—unable drown itself further in denials and distraction—is made aware again to the emptiness of immanence without spirit-purpose; when man seeks again a Greater Way, fruit of these window-seeds will show to enrich others opened to Truth beyond immanent deceits. 

            Man’s savior will never be Men.  Man’s savior will never be Science.  Man’s saviors will never be Technology—information and knowledge that divorces living spirit ever further from the fundamentals of Wisdom, which is eternal Truth.

            Always, man’s savior will be God.  Appearing and manifest in different form, even those miscredited under false labels, God will show.  Again and again as eternal story plays, man’s answer is always God.  With Faith as medium by which revelation and Truth restore sight to a world blind in immanent smallness, man discerns—again—its Answer.

            In this world, man may very well destroy itself, but man will never destroy its Answer.  For the Answer is Eternal. 

            Man’s passions and sins are windows to its Answer.

            There is purpose in them all.
